The company?s latest move is aimed at gaining more trust from parents -
The websites that you browse online hold a lot of information on you. Just like mobile applications that require a lot of your permissions to work properly, websites have also become very complex and access things like your webcam, your location to serve you local ads, and more. And we're barely scratching the surface while talking about the webcam and location access. You'd actually be surprised to know the things that a lot of websites track on a daily basis. But, fret not. We're here to help you take back your control over your web browsers and the data which all these sites are tracking. How To Control Browser Cookies © Pexels Cookies, for those of you who don't know, are small bits of code that websites deposit on your computer to keep track of what your browsing habits are like. With cookies, websites essentially get to know things like the last time you visited them and remember your preferences. Airline portals, for instance, make use of these cookies to figure out the number of times you're looking at a particular airfare to play around with its pricing. Depending on your browsing habits, cookies may or may not be a good thing for you. If you turn them completely off, you'll be forced to set your preferences on your favorite websites every time you visit them. And this is exactly why you might want to get deep into the granular controls. Google Chrome © MensXP If you're using Google Chrome as your primary web browser, then simply click on the icon next to the address bar to its left. There, you'll see an option called "Site Settings". Tap that and you'll see things like cookies and different permissions which the website needs. We suggest you tweak as per your preference for all the sites you visit more often. Even if you're visiting a particular site for the first time, it's a good practice to check out the permissions and see what all they're accessing. This way, you'll prevent the sites from accessing unnecessary resources on your computer. Mozilla Firefox Firefox also lets you check out the permissions the same way Chrome does. Simply tap on the icon next to the address bar, to its left, to reveal everything you need. Alternatively, you can also go to the browser settings to make any other changes to the way the browser uses cookies. Safari On macOS If you're using Safari as your primary web browser, then you can check out the site settings by clicking on Safari Menu button and going to "Settings for This Website". There, you'll see option for the camera, location, and microphone access. Safari will let you turn on an option to serve you a pop up every time a website needs permission. © MensXP Additionally, you can also choose to get a detailed view by heading to "Preferences" from the Safari menu and by clicking "Websites" tab. Here, you'll be able to set global rules for websites and let you block all sites from requesting access to your resources like a webcam. Alternatively, you can also "Block all cookies" by marking the checkbox to prevent all websites from saving cookies. Microsoft Edge Just like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft's Edge browser also lets you check out the site settings by clicking on the icon next to the address bar. You can also head over to the "Manage Permissions" tab to get a deep dive into the permissions granted. Edge browser will also give you an option to turn off media that plays automatically on some websites. That's a really handy feature to have. The Final Say Websites are gettings more complex by the day as developers are trying to revolutionize the way we consume content. It's important that we take cookies and permissions very seriously because not all websites are transparent about the things they have on you. It's always best to make sure that a website doesn't have things like access to your webcam or location unless it's absolutely necessary. View the full article

4 Easy Remedies That Men Can Follow At Home And Control Hair Fall In No Time
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
Hair fall is a common issue that men face and it is truly a serious concern. Although in some cases, hair fall is genuinely inevitable, if the condition has not worsened, chances are you can still save your hair strands and not face male pattern baldness. It can be challenging and also tricky but tweaking your habits and adapting to a few remedies can easily give you a fuller head. Armed with handy tips, here's your saviour guide, so you don't lose your luscious strands ever again. 1. Using Essential Oils © Getty Images Nothing is as terrifying as losing your hair but to let you know, it is never too late. Luckily, applying essential oils can slow down the hair loss process. If you have been experiencing this issue for a while now, try using essential oils and massage your scalp with it. For example, oils like lavender, almond or sesame will be your best bet that will help your follicles stay active and lessen the chances of hair fall. Use it once a week, before you go to sleep. Your scalp will bless you for it! 2. Garlic Or Onion Juice © Getty Images As irksome as this one sounds, in reality, applying juice of highly aromatic home items can easily curb the issue of hair fall, in lesser time. Rub any of these juices on your hair and leave it overnight so your scalp absorbs it all. You will see a noticeable difference when you follow this home remedy regularly. 3. Say No To Hot Showers © Getty Images Yes, undoubtedly, hot showers are relaxing and quite tempting as well but to be honest, it is not favourable for your hair. Irrespective of the season, hot showers can strip off the natural oils from your hair. This is also one of the reasons why there's hair fall. Use lukewarm or cold water as it will lessen the chances of any damage to your hair. 4. Wash Your Hair With Green Tea © Getty Images If you are fretting over the ever-expanding forehead of yours, relying on green tea is another simple way in which you can prevent it. How, you ask? It has various nutrients in it like panthenol and theanine with unique amino acid, that can help your follicles feel stronger. Make green tea like you would and instead of drinking it, let it cool down and use it for your hair as a rinse. Keep it on for about 10 minutes and then wash it off with a regular shampoo. Additionally, it also helps fight dandruff. Sounds easy, right? View the full article -

Invision Community has come a long way over the past five years. We've added many new features and invigorated the front-end user experience to keep it current and in-line with modern interfaces. One area that has remained largely the same is the Admin Control Panel. When we released Invision Community 4.0 back in 2014, the Admin Control Panel was updated but has stayed relatively dormant since. But that's all about to change with the upcoming release of Invision Community 4.5! The Admin Control Panel in 4.5 has received a substantial update, resulting in a modern color scheme and a clean, minimalistic design. We felt that a lighter, more open design allowed the content more space and to feel less crowded. The dark grays have been replaced with shades of blue and aqua which closely reflects Invision Community's new branding, while other colors have been lightened and saturated. Along with the new color scheme, the overall layout of the ACP has intentionally been kept similar to the existing version, resulting in a design that feels surprisingly familiar yet refreshingly new at the same time. We hope you've enjoyed this small sneak peek into Invision Community 4.5 and we look forward to introducing you to some more new features in the upcoming weeks!

Arvind Kejriwal's flagship scheme and ultimate 'weapon to curb pollution and traffic' is back for another round and will be in force from Novemver 4 to November 15. In the wake of pollution in Delhi-NCR growing to hazardous levels, the Delhi government accounced the odd-even scheme, wherein vehicles whose registration numbers end with odd-digits like 1,3,5,7 and 9 will run on odd dates and the vehicles with even numbers like 0,2,4,6 and 8 will run on even days. People who are exempt from this rule are women drivers, emergency vehicles, two-wheelers and vehicles that are driven by disabled people. © BCCL But, looks like more than Kejriwal, the Delhiites were the ones waiting for it with 'bated breath'. Not because they have faith in the scheme or maybe they do, but they were waiting just so they can do what they're good at - crack funny jokes and memes and post it on social media. And let's just say these memes are making us choke on laughter, more than the air pollution ever did.

Who doesn't love sweet and savoury foods? Is there anyone on this planet who hates it? I highly doubt it! Of course, they're delicious and satisfy our taste buds like no other food. However, these cravings need to be managed if our fitness goals are of utmost importance. Especially the goal of weight/fat loss. Let's understand how we can manage these temporary cravings without messing up with our fitness goals! Situation – A Box Of Sweets/Chocolates: Before that, I would want you to imagine a situation where a box of sweets/chocolates is opened and placed in front of you. What will your immediate action be? If you're a fully functional human, you'll try to eat it. This is clear. However, the main question is - Will you: 1. Just eat 1-2 pieces and stop? 2. Eat the whole box Ask yourself this question and be honest about the answer. Okay, I'm Honest. What To Do Now? a) Just Eat 1-2 Pieces & Stop – Feed Your Cravings My recommendation for this would be to feed your cravings and have 1-2 pieces from the box. Adjust the calories of those pieces into your caloric budget of the day and roam guilt free. General guidelines – 2 pieces of chocolate contain 100 Kcals(calories). 1 piece of your favourite sweet contains around 150 kcals(calories). Congratulations, now you're a free man! Sweets/chocolates have less power over you. Eating 1-2 pieces of that chocolate will make you happy and increase your chances of sticking to the nutrition plan. Your fitness goals won't be affected now. b) Eat The Whole Box – Throw The Box Away! Fortunately and unfortunately, the above approach won't work for you. You need to take a stricter approach of handling this situation. Why? Because your fitness goals are at stake! You will do best if you restrict the intake of those sweets. For you, cravings can increase if you try feeding them by eating 1-2 pieces. With time, staying away from sweets will have a beneficial impact on you. My recommendation for this case: - Do not buy these kind of foods at all - Skip the shopping space where these foods are kept - By any chance, if you have these at your home, keep them out of your reach - Hide them in boxes which are not transparent. You won't be able to see them! - Give them to the underprivileged kids. The smile on their faces will make your day! Eventually, you will be a free soul. In the coming days, these boxes of chocolate will have lesser power on you. You will save a lot of calories and hence, reach your fitness goals faster.

The 2019 Pakistan Super League (PSL) ended on a high note when Quetta Gladiators successfully chased down Peshawar Zalmi's below average total of 138 runs in just 17.5 overs to claim their first ever title in the Twenty20 league's history. The Man of the Match award was given to Pakistan's Mohammad Hasnain who was able to snap three wickets while giving up 30 runs in his four overs. Quetta's Ahmed Shehzad led the team's batting order with his 58-on-51 delivery performance as former Aussie captain Shane Watson was dismissed early in the game with a run-out at the hands of Umar Amin. However, the highlight of the evening came after the match was over when, from the crowd of 32,000 cricket fanatics present at the National Stadium in Karachi, emerged an internationally familiar face of a different sport. During the closing ceremony of the 2019 PSL former FIFA World Cup winner and Barcelona FC captain Carles Puyol was brought to the stage followed by a collective roar of cheer coming from the stands.

I'm very happy to be here.” “I thought Pakistanis only liked cricket but I have seen they like football a lot also and it made me happy,” continued the footballer in Spanish while addressing the capacity crowd. While the sporting fans of Pakistan were overjoyed with the presence of such a well known international figure in their stadium, not everyone on Twitter were able to believe their eyes.

For someone who moved from Pakistan to Down Under at a young age, Usman Khawaja has undeniably come a long way to become a vital cog in the Australian set-up. Ever since becoming the first Muslim to play for the Aussies in the Sydney Test during 2011 Ashes series, the left-hander has managed to cement his position in the Australian side on the back of consistent performances. When it comes to his batting, the Australian batsman thrives on the composure and patience he has developed over the years to build his innings. And, that is not derived from the countless hours spent in the nets. In fact, Khawaja mastered the art of discipline - something that's a must for any sportsperson - through his stint at the University of New South Wales - School of Aviation. Yep, you read that right. The Australian cricketer is also a qualified pilot after getting both his degree and licence to fly airplanes. And, he put his flying skills to test by taking control of Airbus A380 - the world's largest passenger aircraft - recently. Watch as qualified pilot Usman Khawaja puts his flying skills to the test, taking control of the largest passenger aircraft in the world!@Uz_Khawaja | @Qantas pic.twitter.com/gg8MerqebM — cricket.com.au (@cricketcomau) February 20, 2019 In a video shared on Twitter, the 32-year-old was seen handling himself quite expertly in the cockpit, his only blemish being a slightly rough landing. Confessing his love for flying, Khawaja said: "I travelled a lot as a kid. My dad worked in Saudi Arabia for about 5-6 years, so I use to travel back and forth to see them and then come back here to play cricket". guess this means they cant drop him for ashes because hes the one flying them over? — Blake Robinson (@Robbo_1990) February 20, 2019 "I just grew a fascination with planes. As I was coming towards the end, year 11-12, I thought 'what about flying'. I found UNSW (University of New South Wales - School of Aviation), which offered both a degree to make my mother happy and get my licence to get my wings," Khawaja said. Talking about how flying helped him in his cricketing endeavours, Khawaja revealed: "I think flying helped me a lot in terms of cricket. Probably the biggest way was discipline and keeping up with the learning, making sure you are on top of any changes that has happened. There are a lot of things that go hand in hand between flying and especially playing Test cricket. The discipline part of flying and discipline of being a sportsman, especially being a cricketer and being a batsman, I think there are a lot of similarities". Till flying simulator is fine but please don't give him real aircraft with passenger else be ready for Australian version of 9/11. — Abhishek Tripathi (@abhishekt2009) February 20, 2019 While many sportspersons are clueless about their choices post retirement, the Australian batsman seems to have that area covered pretty well. After acing the flying test, Khawaja will now have to back it up on the cricket field when Australia lock horns with India in two Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and five One-Day Internationals (ODIs), slated to begin from 24th February.

A chat show which is supposed to entertain the audience ended up leaving a bitter taste for all the fans of 'Koffee With Karan'. When Hardik Pandya and KL Rahul made their much hyped, much awaited appearance on KJo's show, fans were eager to see some bromance and hear some dressing room secrets of the men in blue. However, the comments and remarks made by cricketer Hardik Pandya were regarded as sexist, misogynistic and plain tasteless in nature. Hardik Pandya : When i lost my virginity, i told them, "Mai Aj kar kay aya ho" pic.twitter.com/6HfX0zRWHy — Thakur (@ThakurHassam) January 6, 2019 This is just an iota of the confidence that was shown by Hardik on the show which upset the viewers to a limit that only did BCCI had to take action against them and impose a ban, but the episode had to be pulled down as well. Amidst this wave of controversy, the host himself was mum for quite a while until recently when he opened up on the episode and issued his own apology for the same. Karan Johar breaks his silence for the 1st time post Hardik Pandya & KL Rahul controversy on his #KoffeeWithKaran show. Full interview #ComingUp only on ET NOW. Stay tuned! #Davos @karanjohar @SupriyaShrinate @hardikpandya7 @klrahul11 #WEF2019 @wef pic.twitter.com/HERG69Jq5r — ET NOW (@ETNOWlive) January 23, 2019 Karan clearly mentioned that he regrets what happened to the boys and justified that how anyone associated with the episode had nothing to complain about it but being a responsible person, he wanted to share his two cents on it. The controversy cost the boys a ban from the India-Australia series which they were initially supposed to play. Even though Hardik issued an apology on social media, people were actually done with his thoughts.

How To Control The Most Overlooked Thing That Ruins Your Efforts To Lose Weight
ADMIN posted a blog entry in FDF Online News
One of the most neglected factors when it comes to making progress in terms of fitness that people ignore is stress. Many a times, people who struggle with their fitness goals are going through some sort of stress in their life. Most people make the mistake of ignoring this factor but once you start managing stress better, other things start falling into place more easily. How Stress Works © Pixabay Trying to make progress in your fitness levels while being chronically stressed is like pushing your motorbike to the place that you want to ride it to. You might reach there but it would be a hell lot harder than if you would have ridden it. The reason behind it is that your body's sympathetic nervous system is stuck in "on" mode. It's like your body's smoke alarm is constantly going off which basically makes it's very hard for you to focus on anything and it depletes your will as well. The Peace Killing Hormone Is Friends With Stress Being stressed also makes your body produce a hormone called cortisol which has been linked to triggering cravings for comfort foods and eventually, food binges. Stress also depletes the energy you use to exert self-control. For example, if you are having a bad day at the office and someone offers you a piece of cake, you'll find it a lot harder to not eat it. Our impulse control takes a hit when we feel distressed, so we look for ways to feel better and that piece of cake looks like a very good alternative. How To Tackle Stress 1) The first and the foremost thing that you should do is that you should admit that you are stressed out. Only then you will look for a remedy to your problem. 2) Once, that is out of the picture, you should scale back a little. May be cut down on the number of sessions you work out every week and start dedicating your time towards an activity that you enjoy doing. This will help alleviate the stress of trying to do too much at once. 3) If you are trying to lose weight and the weight on the scale is stuck, remember, weight is just a number. Giving it too much importance can be stressful. There are many more factors to consider when it comes to tracking “fat loss” like taking your measurement, taking photos of yourself regularly, and looking at how your clothes fit you, etc. © Thinkstock 4) You should also look at adding activities which can relax you mentally and physically like yoga and meditation. These activities only take a few minutes of your time rather than hours and can go a long way de-stressing you. Taking care of yourself and it does not only include fitness and nutrition, take up a hobby or do an activity that you like doing, as doing things that you like reduces stress and keeps you active which in turn helps you live a happy life along with a healthy one.

It looks like newer Android devices could be exposed to a newly discovered vulnerability called the RAMpage. The exploit could theoretically work on any device with LPDDR memory, which includes virtually every smartphone released since 2012. Dubbed the RAMpage, the attack allows malicious applications to break out of their sandbox and access the entire operating system. This includes accessing the data stored by other applications, which the Android security model is meant to prevent. © Samsung “While apps are typically not permitted to read data from other apps, a malicious program can craft a rampage exploit to get administrative control and get hold of secrets stored in the device,” the researchers said on a website set up to present the attack. “This might include your passwords stored in a password manager or browser, your personal photos, emails, instant messages and even business-critical documents.” Android ION is a subsystem which manages how memory is allocated, specifically between apps and the operating system. RAMpage attacks the ION subsystem, eliminating the barrier between apps and the operating system, and provides the attacker full control over all data and the device. © YouTube The researchers tested their RAMpage proof-of-concept exploit successfully on an LG G4 device, but they believe that “every mobile device that is shipped with LPDDR2, LPDDR3, or LPDDR4 memory is potentially affected." In response, the researchers have created a defense mechanism dubbed GuardION that can block the exploit on mobile phones. You can patch your device with GuardION, but this isn't an easy task. The instructions are advanced and have only been tested on a Pixel running Android 7.1.1 Nougat with a specific kernel. © TechCrunh The RAMpage exploit is completely different from the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities, researchers said there's no resemblance between Meltdown/Spectre and RAMpage. This is because Meltdown and Spectre go after data stored inside CPU caches while RAMpage goes after data stored inside RAM cards. The research team behind RAMpage and GuardION comprises of Victor van der Veen, Herbert Bos and Kaveh Razavi from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; Giovanni Vigna and Christopher Kruegel from UC Santa Barbara; Martina Lindorfer from TU Wien; Yanick Fratantonio from EURECOM and Harikrishnan Padmanabha Pillai from IBM.

Facebook to give users more control over personal information

The company has faced a global outcry after a whistleblower said that data from millions of users was improperly harvested by consultancy Cambridge Analytica to target US and British voters in close-run elections Facebook Inc is giving users more control over their privacy by making data management easier and redesigning the settings menu, the company said on Wednesday, in the wake of a scandal over a breach that exposed the personal information of millions and was allegedly used by a political consultancy. The company also said it would propose in the coming weeks updates to the social media website?s terms of service and data policy to better spell out what information it collects and how it uses it. The company has faced a global outcry after a whistleblower said that data from millions of users was improperly harvested by consultancy Cambridge Analytica to target US and British voters in close-run elections. Facebook shares are down nearly 18 percent since March 16, when it first acknowledged that user data had been improperly channelled to Cambridge Analytica, eating away nearly $100 billion of the company?s market value. ?We?ve heard loud and clear that privacy settings and other important tools are too hard to find, and that we must do more to keep people informed,? Erin Egan, Facebook?s chief privacy officer, and Ashlie Beringer, its deputy general counsel, said in a statement. In addition to redesigning its settings menu on mobile devices, Facebook said it is creating a new privacy shortcut menu where users would be able to better secure their accounts and control personal information. It would also allow users to review and delete data they have shared, including posts and search queries. Users would be able to download the data shared with Facebook, including uploaded photos, contacts added to their account, and posts on timelines.
